Da DDD (The Demo Man Display Dilemma)

I am eagerly anticipating Demo Man's arrival - he is one of my favorite characters. Yet, he is also the cause of some anxiety: where will I put him in my display case? I try to bring some order in the way I display my figures, e.g. I have the Royal Family in one spot, together with Orko, Tee-La and MAA; or, another example: The Evil Horde as a faction are all trooped together.

Now, what with Demo Man? My first idea: I can put Keldor somewhat more in the back (next to him BG Evil-Lyn and somewhat behind her The Faceless One), a bit more to the front would be Demo-Man and in front of him Skelly (WITH ALCALA HEAD!) sided by the original Evil-Lyn. There's some continuity in that, I guess.

Another idea: place Demo Man on my Preternia/PoG shelf. On one side we would have Vikor, PD He-Man, He-Ro and King Grayskull. On the other side Megator, Gygor (don't ask me why, he fits right in) and Demo-Man (this would put some more weight in the 'evil' scale of the balance).

Oh, the dilemma... what should I do, what should I do?

I'm awaiting suggestions, ideas, comments... Where are you going to put (the awesome) Demo Man?

I'm going to start a new shelf with Alcala head Skeletor piloting the Wind Raider in the center then Vikor, BG Teela and Demo-Man posed in front. Gygor might look good in the back of them too, hadn't thought about that.

My first thought is with the Pre-Eternia folks, but I only have one open space left there, and that's reserved for Eldor. He'll probably wind up in one of the non-themed displays I have. Wundarr could use someone to bop on the nogging with his bread loaf, so maybe Demo will go there.

I think I'm actually going to put him alongside Beast Man and Mer-Man on the display shelf with the Alcala-headed Skeletor... a beast man, a fish man, a demon man... he's rather "first wave"-looking if you ask me, and so should be amongst Skeletor's ranks. It's a case where "yeah, I know what the bio says he is" but I prefer to display him in the line-up with the Evil Warriors.

Demo-Man is going on my Preternia shelf, next to Vikor, trying to recreate the concept drawing.
In my canon, he's Vikor's enemy, leader of the FFM.

Reposted for Truth.

I'll add that I have a "historic" shelf with preternia and any earlier versions of characters (with Keldor ect as well as Preternians) and also a Variant Shelf (which I may put Keldor and Kronis on when I get my Battleground Evil Lyn who will be my "Pre Yellow young" Lyn)

I think having him on the preternian shelf is just fine. Go Leader of the Fighting Foe Men!

Because of space limitations, I think I just may have to use your "Tweenternia" idea, which is wonderful! Thanks for the idea.

In my case I have a "catch-all" villains shelf at the moment with non-Evil-Warriors and non-Horde members. (Currently, it consists of Count Marzo and the Shadow Beast, King Hsss, and Gygor.) I think Demo-Man will go on there for now.
